Options for Community Living

For those with physical disabilities and seniors in their golden years, independence is a treasure to be preserved as long as possible. The AAAD offers a number of services that provide assistance to our constituents so that they can remain independent and care for themselves.

The Options for Community Living Program provides a range of services to enable seniors and persons with physical disabilities to remain in their homes and community, and avoid unnecessary institutionalization. It is designed to assist individuals who do not yet qualify for nursing home care, but are in need of assistance to safely maintain independence in their home setting. This program provides in-home assistance to elderly (age 60 or older) and disabled adults (age 18-59). Eligibility for the Options for Community Living is determined by a home assessment conducted by a Service Coordinator/Case Manager.

Services include periodic assessment, homemaker services, personal care services, and home-delivered meals. Service delivery is based on the individual’s need and available funding, and the individual may be required to contribute toward the cost of homemaker or personal care. There is no charge for meals.
